Abstract

This research is a quantitative study that aims to examine the relationship between social support from nursing home administrators and the psychological well-being of the elderly in nursing homes. The participants in this study were elderly living in nursing homes, with a total of 70 elderly respondents, consisting of 50 elderly women and 20 elderly men. The results of the study indicated that the social support perceived by the elderly from nursing home administrators and their psychological well-being were found to be in the moderate category. The highest dimension of psychological well-being lies in relationships with others, and the highest form of social support lies in support of belonging. The findings of the analysis indicate a relationship between social support from nursing home administrators and psychological well-being of the elderly, with a significant value of 0.000 (p <0.05) and r = 0.697. This finding supports the hypothesis that social support from nursing home administrators is associated with the psychological well-being of elderly individuals residing in nursing homes.
